This is a brake air compressor, a critical component of the air brake system in Volvo trucks. It generates compressed air needed to operate the brakes, suspension, and other air-powered systems. A malfunctioning compressor can lead to insufficient air pressure, affecting braking performance and potentially causing system failures.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early indicators of a failing air compressor include a prolonged time to build air pressure, audible air leaks from the compressor, or a wet/oily discharge from the air dryer. If ignored, the system may not reach adequate operating pressure, leading to intermittent braking or failure of air-assisted functions. This can compromise vehicle safety and operational capability.
Ensure the drive belt is properly tensioned after installation to prevent slippage and ensure efficient operation. Always drain and flush the air system to remove any contaminants before installing the new compressor.
When replacing the air compressor, it is essential to service or replace the air dryer and its filter element to ensure optimal system performance and longevity.
